Hi there Get Real! That's great that Brothers is getting a plug with such a big movie. Less than a month now - I wish it was just a month for the UK too, but I suppose it'll come! We've waited this long. At this rate we'll all be moving into the theatres next month :)

2009-11-09T18:12:37.058Z

Wow, more projects...fantastic! Sounds interesting and I hope it is another great vehicle for Jake. Btw, Duncan Jones is David Bowe's son. I am very excited for Jake and for us. :D

Btw, saw the movie Precious yesterday. Incredible movie that will definitely be up for Oscars. The theatre was completely packed. The even better news is that the trailer for Brothers was part of the movie! This movie broke records this past weekend and is already on everyone's top of year list. Having Brothers attached as a trailer is excellent promotion. Can't wait until December 4th. Squee! :D

What a day! Just got in :D

Hi there 13:13! Now that I've read more about it, I'm getting pretty keen on this project too - very tense and with a lot of potential for Jake.

My favourite trailer is the second one too :D

I couldn't agree more, 13:51! Jake most definitely knows how to get the audience behind his character, or caring about him even when he's having to make some difficult decisions. Jake would be central to this story too.

That sounds amazing, 14:18! I'd love to see it. Our menfolk do love to roll their eyes :) Well, mine does!.

I'm so glad you liked my Carnaby Street reindeer and the BBM post - it's been so fast moving ehre over the last few days it's really nice to hear that people are enjoying the bits and pieces. I love London when the lights are on :D

2009-11-09T14:27:40.721Z

^^Oops, that didn't sound right - I added the bit about the Yanks in addition to the Dallas/Philly game last night - forgot to add I loved your pic of the pink reindeer on Carnaby Street, WDW! Also, the Sunday BBM post - that pic you posted with Ennis and Jack in the midst of their reunion kiss is so intense. Sigh. :)

2009-11-09T14:18:05.868Z

It was a gorgeous trailer on the big screen - my husband had the game on and he called to me "Uh, you might want to take a look at this!" and it was beautiful! Yes, he's a Red Sox fan but enjoyed watching the Yankees (any port in a storm, I guess. lol!) He doesn't mind my silly celeb crush of sorts. Jake's eyes were really an intense blue/green or aqua, you know the scene I mean.

Getting excited about Brothers, and the new movie sounds great. Can't wait to hear more.

2009-11-09T13:51:24.015Z

That's easy with the casting of the sci-fi movie. As far as Jake's character goes he will make him someone to care about. That's one of Jake's great talents with his characters.

2009-11-09T13:15:59.412Z

Also meant to say: I'm not crazy about this last trailer. It is rather heavy handed. Between the three trailers, the whole movie is just about given away...or at least more than I'd like to see.

I think the most effective trailer is the second one. More intense, shorter.

2009-11-09T13:13:58.849Z

I don't mind this new project. It sounds intriguing. I really like Sci/Fi and I love thrillers, if they're good, so it could work out. I think casting will be important. The hook is, we have to care.

P.S.

The Men Who Stare At Goats was filmed in New Mexico. Brothers was filmed in New Mexico. :)

2009-11-09T11:02:55.597Z

It's a conspiracy, Winterbird! So much going on, so little time... There should be more Jaking hours in a day. Is it home time yet?

2009-11-09T09:40:43.196Z

You know, I think Jake totally signed on this movie at this time - just to keep you busy!!! LOL.

The project and the story sound great. Jake will fulfil his sci-fi dream if this one comes before UMP.

I need to go home and watch Brothers trailer #3! And need a report on Brothers on Directors Guild!

Morning all! Why is it Monday? Why? WHY??

Hi there Carol! I'm curious and the female character too - it sounds like a good role.

Hi 23:28 :D You must see Groundhog Day - one of my favourite films - and that shows perfectly that this kind of time movement story can work. Never enough towel pics :D

That's great 1:32! I'd love to see one of these trailers just pop up unexpectedly! But off to the movies this week with a mission to see the PoP trailer - fingers crossed.

Hey Paul - That's good news that Brothers is being trailered with such a high profile movie. I love Kevin Spacey but otherwise I don't think I'll be seeing that one.I don't know what it is about george Clooney - I think he's amazing but I've not managed to like his films... Maybe I should try harder.

Hi 4:04! I wonder if that's the video I've just updated to the post? Good to hear it's on TV!

I've just updated the post with a TV spot/3rd trailer. Not much new but good to get anything.

Have a good day - we have fog :/

2009-11-09T02:23:07.787Z

Speaking of "Brothers," I saw the trailer for it today when I went to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats." I gather that there will be a lot of tension and yelling after Toby's character gets back home.

"The Men Who Stare at Goats" is a lot of fun. I can't find anyone in the cast who links directly to Jake. Kevin Spacey, George Clooney, and Jeff Bridges have not been in any movies with Jake. I may have to look harder, but so far no links have turned up.

2009-11-09T01:32:27.777Z

OMG - so many Jake surprises! I just saw the trailer for Prince of Persia on TV - during the Dallas/Philadelphia football game! It was beautiful, especially Jakes blue/green eyes - and the action was wonderful. I have a big screen TV, so it was almost like being at the movies! :)

Wow, this is very exciting - I love the plot summa...

2009-11-08T23:28:21.027Z

Wow, this is very exciting - I love the plot summary! I never saw Deja Vu or Groundhog day, but I get the feeling that this is a bit more serious in tone, almost like a Bourne mystery. Also, thanks for including my other favorite "towel" scene. :)

2009-11-08T23:10:57.435Z

After reading more about this movie it sounds more interesting than I first thought. It definitely reminds me of Deja Vu.

I'm curious to know more about the female lead character.

2009-11-08T22:26:08.903Z

Hi Uli! Jake certainly has the depth of feeling to make us really feel for a character like this.

Hi Anon - I agree, that the other films may work around this one, and not be replaced by it.

Thanks for that, Jake Fan! That's fascinating and really encouraging. I was worried by similarities to Vantage Point (that became so dull and old fast) but this sounds like it could be involving and very gripping. And Jake would be central. I like the sound of the strong female role too. I added your link to the post - thanks!

Script review for "Source Code"

"Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. I absolutely freaking LOVED this script. Loved it x a million. I'm a sucker for sci-fi. But sci-fi that makes you *feel*? I'm so down."
Carson Reeves

If the film is half as good as this guys enthusiasm, I am happy.....

2009-11-08T22:08:18.091Z

It seems the Unnamed Moon movie...still has a way to go before filming starts so this one would be through if the other is available then toward the end of the year..or whenever.
"Damn Yankees" is another that isn't ready yet to be filmed. But do hope that one comes through. A musical would be another role to put with the many different types Jake has done.
Same for the Namath movie

2009-11-08T22:07:12.165Z

Great cigar smoking bunny avatar, Rob! ;D
He, I was thinking of Groundhog Day, too... :D :D
I still like the idea of the movie, because I am thinking of the range of emotions Jake could show in such a story... And he is so good at showing emotions...
Hm, would be weird to see Jake with a jarhead haircut again. I liked it back in the day, though... But now it is a strange thought...
So, there will be lots of more news this week, huh?
Gotta go to bed now!! Good night!

2009-11-08T21:59:09.556Z

I do hope so, BBMISwear! We are so due some first hand Brothers information :-)

Hi Monica! My fingers are crossed too.

Hey Carol! Thanks for telling me that you spent Pine Creek Day watcching BBM - it's good to think many of us spent the day in such a nice day. It really is hard keeping up!

Duncan Jones has now tweeted confirmation of the news so... let's wait and see! (Please no Jarhead hair cuts...)

2009-11-08T21:42:28.518Z

More news I can't keep up with everything:)

I'm not sure this movie is my kind of thing but it's good to hear Jake's name associated with another project. I had hoped that the Joe Namath movie might be up next. The way this one has been announced is really like the way we heard about LAOD.

I am looking forward to hearing what Jim Sheridan has to say at the Brothers event. We've been left in suspense for far too long on this movie.

Thanks for another BBM post today WDW. Hope you had a good Pine Creek Day. I watched it myself yesterday. I hadn't read some of those comments from Jake and Ang before so thank you for something new.

2009-11-08T21:12:39.643Z

I'm crossing my fingers that Jim Sheridan gives a lot of good info about Brothers at the Q&A today and that someone out there reports every single word of it! We need us some Brothers news and we need it now!

2009-11-08T21:06:57.546Z

Rob, I hear what you're saying. I thought of Groundhog Day too and I don't particularly want to watch a film where I have to sit through a repeated train crash every few minutes... But I'm hoping one sentence isn't enough to do the story justice and I would also hope that Duncan Jones would have seen something in it, rather than it being just a step forward into Hollywood. I'm surprised to hear that Jake would want to play another soldier role. I need more info - right now! And I want Doug's response...
